Love3ly place but we had to clean it when we arrived as construction ongoing inside left a layer of black dust in all the living spaces and there was no way to clean other than wet cloths on elbow grease. We even had to go out and buy some things to clean with.

The house if very nice except the water pressure is so low in the showers they are unusable. Damn shame as the rest of the house is very nice.

Home was nice. Very clean. If you have mobility issues, the stairs will be an issue. Loved the very long dining table. Great for large gatherings.
Washer doesn’t work
Vacasa, on the other hand, is not customer oriented. Very disappointed in their customer service.

Plenty of space for sleeping, eating, and playing. House is not toddler friendly AT ALL so come prepared if needed. Had an issue with very dirty floors and a literal hole in the kitchen floor big enough for a foot to go through. Without those two issues this would have been a perfect stay.

Overall, the stay was fine. There were some unfortunate cleanliness issues, namely in the bathrooms and kitchen. The cloth living room furniture needs cleaning, too. Further, we corresponded multiple times with the host to let them know the washing machine wasn’t working. Sadly, they acknowledged our concern, promised to send a repair person, and no one came. Since our family traveled a long distance, we elected to pack light as there was a washer and dryer at the home, so issue this was a major inconvenience. The houses on either side aren’t well-kept, but the neighborhood overall was fine. We had a nice time, but the property owner needs to do a deep clean and ensure everything is in proper working order before the next guests arrive.

The house had reviews on ac problems. The listed separate room in the back was very hot unbearable to be in for this Texas heat no one stayed back there. Ac in main house is good. Upstairs Bathroom is cooled By a window air vent. Loved the big table. Lots of stairs, in the entrance to get to the back yard and of course 2nd floor. Living room couches need a clean and washer didnt work. Beds were soft kitchen was stocked. The walk is about 10 -15 min to get to beach. Area is quiet.

This charming victorian style home was so much better than we expected! It had everything we needed while we were vacationing in Galveston. We are already discussing coming again next year and staying in the same house!

We had a great family vacation using this house. The large dining table was perfect for dinner and games. The back patio was also great with the dart board and corn hole game. The location was wonderful. Very easy access to the house and easy communication with the owner.
4.0
The location was great, near all main attractions. The house itself was lacking a good AC unit which caused the temp to stay around 85 degrees through out the stay.

This home was perfect. From the creaking wood floors to the details of the tall door ways. Beautiful patio, the mother-in-law quarters is great for our friends that traveled with us. Kitchen was well stocked with family sized pots and pans. Loved it all!

The house is beautiful, but the two upstairs bedrooms were virtually uninhabitable in the Texas heat. One side's AC did not work at all and the otherside barely cooled. We called and spoke to Linda with Vacasa property management, and she said she opened a ticket, but nothing came of it. This was a lot of money to spend to have the two of the bedrooms in this condition.

The house was beautiful and spacious. There was nearly every utensil in the kitchen that we needed for our stay, separate air units and Alexa's for each bedroom and living room, plenty of seating space around the house and patio for everyone. The only gripe I have about the property is that the stairwell needs repair. The front of several steps were cracked and shifted when you step on them. You could see were some had been repaired before with nails in the front of them. One of the nails was sticking out of the banister and my husband slit his arm on it. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant stay close to the seawall. I would definitely stay here again!

It was perfect! Everyone had a real bed (not a sofa pullout)! The location couldn't have been better. We were blocks from the seawall and blocks from the strand. The neighborhood was quiet. Our home was clean with all of the amenities- towels and kitchen equipment. We loved sitting on the back porch or patio enjoying our coffee while listening to the ocean.

The house was cute, lots of beds for 12 guest. The mother in law suite is nice. The grill worked for our bbq. Communication with the home management was not that great. There was a leak in the kitchen which we contacted Vacasa about but we did not get any reply from them. We also asked about the grill before arriving since we knew we would be cooking but the reply from Vacasa was a week after our stay via text message. Kind of too late to be helpful. There is a google ring system at the front door and the house was equipped with amazon monitoring System but I was a little uneasy with the Alexa screens which had cameras on them in the bedrooms. Other than that the home was nice. And we were able to enjoy our time at the beach so close to the home.

We liked this charming house. One drawback was the cleanliness of the kitchen. There were roach droppings in the drawers and we killed several roaches. We had to wash all the plates, bowls, pots and pans, flatwear, glasses, etc. Also cleaned shelves and drawers. It was very disappointing and if you find one thing not clean, you wonder about the cleanliness of other things. This property has need of some TLC outside (trimming bushes in the front), and cleaning up the back patio grill and furniture. We did enjoy the house
